The first mentions of charlotte date back to the 19th century. However, to date, there is no definitive evidence as to who exactly invented the recipe for the airy and incredibly tender charlotte dough. I am of the opinion that the idea most likely originated with English pudding, of which there are a great many variations.

Charlotte pie is perfect for breakfast with morning coffee, tea, or a glass of warm cocoa. It's also quick to make and a gift for friends if you're planning a picnic, in which case it's a wonderful addition to your dessert menu.

Advice

It's easy to check if your charlotte is done. Just take a long wooden skewer and poke it into the pie. If it comes out easily and there's no raw dough left on it, it's ready.

What can complement the taste of charlotte?

Charlotte cake can be made with a wide variety of fruits and berries. Cherries, pears, plums, bananas, nectarines, figs, and even apricots are all suitable. It's best to use fresh, seasonal fruit for this dessert, as frozen fruit contains a lot of moisture, which can affect the cake's consistency.

Since pie dough prefers drier fillings, out of season I recommend adding various dried fruits, such as dried apricots, prunes, or dried figs. It's worth noting that they must be steamed in water before use. I guarantee that a dessert with this filling will also turn out incredibly original, aromatic, and delicious!

Peach Charlotte is sure to become your favorite dessert. Once you've tried it, you'll never be able to resist its incredible flavor!
